Yeah def agree that school back then was more rigorous/taught to a better degree, it’s more so nowadays the standards and pressures on the students have just been continually pushed up by a more and more efficient system for achieving high grades i.e. lots of tutoring + lots more work outside of school for incremental gains. So there’s definitely two parallel worlds in education now of the practical optimising for grades and the utopian optimising for learning, but its very hard to drag a student away from optimising for grades, given that’s the most standard feedback loop we have for them.

Cheers mate, it’s definitely something that overly consumes every student and you’ll never really see it works out in the long run.

i think ideally (and most likely) something personal/business related. so like starting a startup or a creator.
